1. Field

This invention relates to artificial fireplace logs; and, moreparticularly to scented logs.

2. Related Art

Artificial fireplace logs made of compressed or compacted recycled woodfibers and bio waxes are well known in the art. In the past, such logshave been enhanced by added color, pesticides, etc. However, no logs areknown which emit a luxurious scent during burning.

SUMMARY

It is an object of this invention to provide a fireplace log made ofcompressed or compacted recycled wood fibers and bio wax that includes ascented material that gives off a luxurious scent while burning.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an exploded view illustrating my invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As seen in FIG. 1, a log 10 is shown that can be used indoors andoutdoors. Scented wax, oil and pellets are added to this artificial logto produce the desired scent when burned. The log is made with 100%renewable resources and burns cleaner than wood. The log may be 6-8pounds and will burn up to 4-6 hours, the logs herein are all naturalmaterials and create no net increase of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere. They produce 22% less carbon emissions than firewood. Thiseco-friendly fire log is made from recycled wood fibers and bio waxesderived from organic materials. Luxury scented logs do not containpetroleum and are classified for safe use in zero—clearance fireplaces.Most manufacturers have begun to change their product labels andwarranty information allowing the use of UL—classified solid fuels, suchas dura flame fire logs. Luxury scented logs will meet the higheststandard in quality, convenience, reliability and environmentalsustainability. Luxury scented logs will be packaged in a branded luxuryscented logs box containing 9 logs. Luxury scented logs are not made forwood stoves but only for fireplaces and outdoor use. A fireplace or pitprovides a beautiful atmosphere whether it be a luxurious morning, quietafternoon or an elegant evening at home. Luxury scented logs willenhance any setting with our multiple fragrances. This product will haveyour home smelling great. The product line can consist of multiplescents like vanilla, caramel, cranberry, green apple, summer breeze,wild cherry, buttered pancakes, cupcake, watermelon, winter mist andyour favorite holiday scents, etc. The organic material can be sprayed,soaked and/or oil pellets placed inside. The material is then compactedinto a log shape and wrapped in a logo branded paper covering. Light thelog and get ready for 4-6 hours of this beautiful scent. Nothing exactlylike this exist anywhere.

The UL classification mark will be on the fire log packaging to assuresafety classification. Many local air quality officials now recommendmanufactured fire logs as a clean burning alternative fuel forresidential fireplace use. Manufactured fire logs combine two industrialbyproducts, sawdust and petroleum wax, which are mixed and extruded intofamiliar log like shapes. This manufactured fire log will be wrapped inpaper and require no kindling or starting material. This fire log willbe available in a wide variety of retail outlets, includingsupermarkets, drug stores, discount stores, home improvement centers,convenience stores, and other retailers across the United States.

Thus, referring again to FIG. 1, a container 11 may be used to hold asoaking liquid sprayed therein from inlet 12, such as a scented oil andwax. The material that will result in the final log is thus soaked incontainer 11 resulting in the scented log 13 when it is finallycompressed. This log 13 may be split into 2 parts, log section 14 andlog section 15. Multiple fragrant pellets 16 may be added to sections14, 15 in any suitable well known manner resulting in the final scentedlog 10. Of course, no pellets need be added since log 10 is alreadyscented.

Any suitable pellets may be used, such as wax pellets that are known inthe art, and embedded in such logs by well known processes. Such pelletsrelease material, such as an insecticide, when burned.

The logs may be soaked in a scented solution or the pellets embeddedinto the logs. Scents may be combined; for example, a log may be soakedin a vanilla scented solution with pellets of a caramel scent embeddedin the log.

Although a particular embodiment of the invention is disclosed,variations thereof may occur to an artisan and the scope of theinvention should only be limited by the scope of the appended claims.For example, many other types of scents and fragrances may occur to anartisan.
